Viewing Notes
Nifty made-for-TV serial killer flick filmed in and around Chicago. Really like the cabaret sequence in the theater district but would’ve loved to have a crisp transfer to see all that beautiful sixties neon! Couldn’t make out any of the marquees. Seeing Ted Knight in this makes me think that dude never aged. He looks the same here as he did on the MTM show.
Really curious who has the rights to this film. This is the kind of thing that could easily find a home with a VinSyn; has just enough grime and sleaze to make the cut (for a TV movie that went to theaters).
